Anthony Howard Farina, 86, of Vineland NJ, went home to be with the Lord on December 7, 2025. He passed away in the comfort of his home surrounded by the family he dearly loved.

Born February 27, 1939, he was a lifelong resident of the City of Vineland. After high school, he joined the United States Navy and proudly served his country for 4 years. After the Navy, he returned to Vineland. He was employed at the Vineland Fireworks Factory and then Precision Electronic Glass. He retired from Precision Electronic Glass in 2006.

"Tony", as he was known by all, loved to be connected to the open sea. He loved fishing, water skiing and vacations on the beaches of Sea Isle. In the summer months, he loved tending to his yard. He loved weekend parties at his home shooting pool, throwing darts and playing cards. And whenever possible, he loved going on cruises.

More often than not, Tony was known as a "patriarch". He was the man who would paint your house, fix your plumbing, cook up a great meal and offer wisdom and kindness whenever needed. Above all else, he fiercely loved his wife of 48 years, his children and grandchildren. He was known as Uncle Tony and Pop to many as his great heart was open to loving all that he knew. He will be greatly missed by many.

He is survived by his wife, Barbara Ann (Moss) Farina; daughter Kimberly (Leon) D'Ottavio; sister Mary Sue (Herbert) Wright; grandson Lee D'Ottavio and granddaughter Angela D'Ottavio; great granddaughter Savannah Rehm and great grandson Jerry Wooton.
